Why must we always compare and compete? God said it is good, let it be....

[PoeticGMama]

In life we spend so much time comparing and competing that we don't see the beauty that lies within. When will we learn to love who we are?

>>>Dear Jamie:
>>>
>>>I'm sorry but I would like to challenge some of your Black male
readers. 
>>>I am a White female who is engaged to a Black male-good-looking,
educated
>>>and loving. I just don't understand a lot of Black female's
attitudes
>>>about our relationship. My man decided he wanted me because the
pickings
>>>amongst Black women were slim to none. As he said they were either
too
>>>fat, too loud, too mean, too argumentative, too needy, too
materialistic
>>>or carrying too much excess baggage.
>>>
>>>Before I became engaged, whenever I went out I was constantly
approached
>>>by Black men, willing to wine and dine me and give me the world. If
Black
>>>women are so up in arms about us being with their men, why don't
they
>>>look at themselves and make some changes. I am tired of the dirty
looks I

>>>Dear Jamie:
>>>
>>>I would like to respond to the letter written by A Disgusted White
Girl.
>>>
>>>
>>>Let me start by saying that I am a 28-year old black man. I
graduated
>>>from one of the most prestigious universities in Atlanta, Georgia
with a
>>>Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Management. I have a good job at
a
>>>major corporation and have recently purchased a house. So, I
consider
>>>myself to be among the ranks of successful black men.
>>>
>>>I will not use my precious time to slander white people. I just want
to
>>>set the record straight of why black men date white women. Back in
the
>>>day, one of the biggest reasons why black men dated white women was
>>>because they were considered easy.
>>>
>>>The black girls in my neighborhood were raised in the church. They
were
>>>very strict about when they lost their virginity and who they lost
it to.
>>>Because of our impatience to wait, brothers would look for someone
who
>>>would give it up easy without too much hassle. So, they turned to
the
>>>white girls.
>>>
>>>Nowadays, in my opinion, a lot of brothers date white women because
they
>>>are docile and easy to control. A lot of black men, because of
>>>insecurities, fears, and overall weaknesses, have become intimidated
by
>>>the strength of our black women. We are afraid that our woman will
be
>>>more successful than us, make more money than us, drive nicer cars
and
>>>own bigger houses. Because of this fear, many black men look for a
more
>>>docile woman. Someone we can control.
>>>
>>>I have talked to numerous black men and they continuously comment on
how
>>>easy it is to control and walk over their white women. I just want
to set
>>>the record straight. I want A Disgusted White Girl to know that not
all
>>>successful black men date white women.
>>>
>>>Brothers like Ahmad Rashad, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan,
Morris
>>>Chestnut, Will Smith, Blair Underwood, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds,
Samuel
>>>L. Jackson, and Chris Rock all married strong black women And, to
flip
>>>the script, there are numerous white men, in and out of the spot
light,
>>>who openly or secretly desire black women over white women. Ted
Danson,
>>>Robert DeNiro, and David Bowie to name a few.
>>>
>>>I just don't want a disgusted white girl to be misinformed Stop
thinking
>>>that because you are white that you are some type of goddess.
Remember,
>>>when black Egyptian Queens like Hatsepshut and Nitorcris were ruling

>>>Dynasties and armies of men in Egypt , you were over in the caves of

>>>Europe eating raw meat and beating each other over the head with
clubs.
>>>Read your history!
>>>
>>>It was the black woman that taught you how to cook and season your
food.
>>>It was the black woman that taught you how to raise your children.
It was
>>>black women who were breast feeding and raising your babies dur ing
>>>slavery.
>>>
>>>It is the black woman that had to endure watching their fathers,
>>>husbands, and children beaten, killed, and thrown in jail. Black
women
>>>were born with two strikes against them: being black and being a
woman.
>>>
>>>And, through all this, Still They Rise! It is because of the black
>>>women's strength, elegance, power, love and beauty that I could>
never>
>>>date anyone except my black Queen. It is not just the outer beauty
that
>>>captivates and draws me to them. It is not the fact that they come
in all
>>>shapes, sizes, colors and shades that I love them. Their inner
beauty is
>>>what I find most appealing about black women. Their strong spirit,
loving
>>>and nurturing souls, their integrity, their ability to overcome
great
>>>obstacles, their willingness to stand for what they believe in, and
their
>>>determination to succeed and reach their highest potential while
enduring
>>>great pain and suffering is why I have fallen in love with black
women.
>>>
>>>I honestly believe that your anger is geared more toward jealousy
and
>>>envy more so than snotty looks. If this were not so, then why do you

>>>continuously go to tanning salons to darken your skin? If you are so

>>>proud to be white, then why don't you just be happy with your pale
skin?
>>>
>>>Why do you continue to inject your lips, hips, and breasts with
unnatural
>>>and dangerous substances so you can look fuller and more voluptuous?
>>>
>>>I think that your anger is really a result of you wanting to have
what
>>>the black woman has.
>>>
>>>
>>>BOTTOM LINE: If I were looking for a docile woman, someone I can
walk
>>>over and control, I would give you a call. But, unfortunately, I am
>>>looking for a Virtuous Woman. Someone that can be a good wife and
mother
>>>to my children.
>>>
>>>Someone who can be my best friend and understands my struggles. I am

>>>looking for a soul mate. I am looking for a sister and;
unfortunately,
>>>you do not and CANNOT fit the bill. No offense taken, none given.
